Mark 6:30-34

He comes
with Compassion
and sees
our need
drawing us
into His rest
teaching
us God’s will
for Love
author
of Goodness
we follow
and share
the Goodness
that we
have been
given
praising
God’s name
for showing us
the way
to Love

Who do you follow?
For what do you ask from God?
How do you share what you have been given?

Mal 3: 1-4; Psalm 24: 7, 8, 9, 10; Hebrews: 2: 14-18; Luke: 2: 22-40

 one
we have longed for
who saves us
from our fear
of death
and the sin
that enslaves us
hearts opened
and revealed
we endure
the purifying
flame of love
and mercy
through His tested faith
and give thanks

Do you see His Glory?
Do you experience His saving power?
How are you guided by the Holy Spirit?

Mark 6:7-13

sent out
two by two
no money
no food
only
their Faith
and a walking stick
they lived
on the kindness
of strangers
who opened
their hearts
and homes
to Good News
seeing
a new way
to live
not in fear
but in the love
written
in their hearts

What do you carry on your journey?
What is written in your heart?

2Samuel 24:2,9-17; Psalm 32:1-2,5-7; Mark 6:1-6

thinking
we know
we miss
God’s voice
in the familiar
and the ordinary
wanting
to control
we plan against
God’s desire
until
in a light
of awareness
we see
and are struck
with a great sorrow
that becomes
mercy

Have you missed God’s voice in the familiar and the ordinary?

Mark 5: 21-43

in His Presence
we arise
no longer
afraid
letting go
of our burdens
we feel
His healing
power
eyes fixed
on love
we see
ourselves
and draw
healing and life
for our soul

On what are your eyes fixed?
Do you reach out for healing?
Do you reach out in love?

 Mark 5: 1-20

healed
of his tormenting
spirits
the man
went off
and began
to proclaim
what Jesus
had done
for him

What has Jesus done for you?
How do you share this with others?

Dt. 18: 15-20; Psalm 95:1-9; 1Cor 7:32-35; Mark 1:21-28

a prophet raised up
with God’s words
on his lips
speaks of love
and mercy
to hearts
that long to hear
driving out the demons
that keep us from knowing
who we are
our hearts and minds
are softened
opening to the Light
that surrounds us
with Love
and fills us
with song

What are you demons?
What happens to your heart when you hear God’s words of love and mercy?

2Samuel 12:1-7,10-17; Psalm 51:12-17; Mark 4:35-41

we take
what is not ours
and suffer
the consequence
as God’s nature
takes its course
death from death
life from life
some mercy comes
and our hearts
are created
anew
the storms
are calmed
and we stand
in awe
of the power
from which
we are conceived
the power
in which we live

Have you taken what is not yours?
What mercy has come?

2 Timothy 1: 1-8; Psalm 96: 1-10; Mark 3: 22-30

stir
the flames
of faith
given
by the Holy Spirit
who did not give
a spirit of
cowardice
but of power
self control
and love
once seen
cannot be
denied
we sing
of the glory
passed on
through
generations
living
now
in the deep roots
of God’s love and faith

What keeps your faith alive?
Does your faith have deep roots in God’s love?

Acts 22:3-16; Psalm 117:1,2; Mark 16:15-18

living
in our delusions
we separate
and persecute
thinking we know
what is right and good
until struck by the Light
of Grace
that reveals
the Truth
of Oneness
and Love
challenging
everything
we have ever believed
setting us free
for a new life
living
in peace
and harmony
in God’s Love
This is the Good News.

What light do you see?
Are you challenged by what you see?
How are you changed?
